How can i keep from getting totally constipated from medications. i drink tons of water. and i'm on a low oxalate diet. so greens veggies are out?

Fiber!: You are right to drink plenty of water. You also need plenty of fiber. You can get this from whole grain breads and cereals, and fresh fruit. If this doesn't help, try adding MiraLax (polyethylene glycol) every day or 2. Good luck!
